Sonic Academy welcomes back Hyper Production's Rory Webb this week for an in-depth look at the awesome Soundtoys 5 bundle.

With 20 different plugins at your disposal, the majority of which have been emulated on classic pieces of hardware, Soundtoys have provided everything you need in one package to manipulate and process your audio in endless ways.

In this course Rory takes a detailed look at each of the plugins available, lifting the lid and exploring all of the functions and showing us what they're capable of, with real-world examples.

From delays, distortions and phasers through to EQ's, reverbs and pitch shifters Soundtoys 5 is an epic addition to your effects arsenal, and with the included option of racking them up, you can not only save on CPU but also save a unique chain of effects to use in your tracks.

thank you Rory, very informative, I've had these for a while and didn't realize just how good these plugins were until seeing these videos. The Sie-Q especially is the answer to what I'm often looking for when wanting a track to stand out more, and I had trouble sleeping after watching the Alterboy wringing my hands scheming on way to implement it.
